About “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)”

A dry-witted story of a man who failed to charm his love interest into bed, and how he got his revenge in an extreme (and sociopathic) way.

Norwegian Wood is my song completely. It was about an affair I was having. I was very careful and paranoid because I didn’t want my wife, Cyn, to know that there really was something going on outside of the household. I’d always had some kind of affairs going, so I was trying to be sophisticated in writing about an affair, but in such a smoke-screen way that you couldn’t tell. But I can’t remember any specific woman it had to do with.John Lennon, interview with David Sheff
